Apparently when I add the ACC Stop & Go, I lose the heated wheel. Or at least it isn't on the options page. However, it stills lists under the tier. When viewing the inside of the car on BMWUSA, I see the heated wheel button is gone from the street column once Stop & Go is selected.

Hey everyone... post some pics of yours as soon as you take delivery please! Oh and I'm very interested in 'real owner' opinions of how this drives... particularly FWD models as I don't need AWD (I don't really think the loss of RWD is going to be as detrimental as some suggest)

Must admit the 'look' of this car is really growing on me... love how they've managed to chop down both front & rear overhangs as compared to the X1

If you haven't driven one yourself, you should. How a vehicle drives is very subjective and is very dependent on what the person is currently driving.

It's important to remember that the xdrive X1 and X2 are 100% front-wheel biased. That means, under typical daily commuting, the average driver will never get the experience of AWD. Only when the computer detects a loss of traction will 40% of the available power be redirected to the rear wheels.

Of course, but I wonder if the substantially lighter FWD only car will feel more agile!?

I had a 2013 x135. Now I have a 2018 x2. With this class of vehicle, FWD vs RWD bias, meh. The x2 is totally fine for what it's intended to do.

I'm not upset with the x2 at all. It's a great driving vehicle for it's class - which are all on FWD platforms. I just put 800+ miles driving up Vancouver Island and into British Columbia. Lots of elevation change and tight curves. The x2 did fine.

yes I will definitely take a test drive, assuming my local dealer has a petrol model... here in the UK we still seem to be very diesel biased for some strange reason! The X4 is now launched in the UK with no petrol engine as yet!!!

Just got an update yesterday. Mine will be at the dealership sometime tomorrow afternoon and ready to pick up on Saturday. 9 long weeks.

Congratulations!!! Hoping to have mine by the end of the month - currently scheduled to arrive in New York on 6/13.

Late post but here is a shot of my X2 couple days after the Xpel clear bra install. Had the car for about 1 month, really like it for my daily driver.

[bimmerdriver2]

@philthy84, looks great. I'm still waiting for mine to make its way across the country. It's around half-way, another week to go.

[Quixalcoatl]

Just took delivery of my new X2. So nice to finally have it after nine long weeks of waiting. Pics to follow.

[Quixalcoatl]

Newest car. First BMW.

[Lucky13]

Did you get it from BMW of Charleston, bought a new Mini from them in 2009. Did you get much of a discount? I would imagine ordering and tight inventory it would be about $1,500. I’m in Columbia and BMW of Columbia is low on my list of good dealers.

Yes, I did. I got a $1,000 rebate from Rick Hendrick, and a $2,000 incentive from my employer. They also gave me the KBB trade in value for my car. All-in-all, I was quite pleased with the customer experience. Rick Hendrick BMW is one of the better ones, IMHO.

That color looks really nice in the photo, we usually go the conservative color route but that is sharp. Let us know your likes and dislikes after you get some time in it.

This Friday 29e Juni i have a new one.
I had the x1 for 1,5 year (time for new).

20 inch.
M sport

[bimmerdriver2]

I picked up my new car this afternoon. I took a few pictures at the dealership, but for some reason, only one turned out. I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't take the time to check to see that they turned out. Oh well...

This is the new little brother for my E46 M3, an X2 M Sport X, with almost every available option.

[satz]

I've paid the deposit on an X2 SDrive 2.0i (petrol FWD). Going for the MSport not X.

Still deciding on colour (Gold, Sunset or Misano!)

And interior...Oyster leather or black leather with blue stitching.

I'm working overseas so have asked for a January 2019 build date.

I'm excited, but also sure that I'll miss my beast of a 335i sedan

[Bimmerforlife]

Now that the M35i is approaching, how will FWD and AWD affect the increase in HP? For someone like me who has a 335i with 300 hp and RWD. If I’m considering the X2 M35i but I’m use to RWD would I be happier with FWD or AWD? I still want the 300 hp but I also want the feel of RWD and I like the looks of the X2. I live in FL.

The only person who can answer that is yourself. Everything has it's pros and cons. It also has several variables that only you can experience. Ex. what is your daily commute, how aggressive do you drive, do you get a lot or rain/snow, what tires will you be getting on them, do you like launching your car from stop or around bends, etc.

Personally I like the torque down low, city driven only, and I get the worst of all weather here. The regular X2 is fine, but a toy of a car would be an M2 for me.

Go for a test drive when it is available.

Not sure what your question is. AFAIK, the M35i will only be offered in AWD, not FWD. That's a good thing. Hopefully it will be more rear-biased than the X28i. The M35i won't feel like it has RWD, but I find my X28i to be reasonably well balanced. It certainly doesn't feel like a FWD vehicle. The M35i sounds like it will be a beast.
